Police spokesperson Don Martin says Stribble had been communicating with
a woman on social media earlier in the week and agreed to meet her at
the LaQuinta Inn on Loop 323 in Tyler. Police were tipped off about the
meeting by an anonymous source and sent an undercover officer to meet
with the pastor on Wednesday.
Martin says Stribble gave the
undercover officer enough information to have him arrested at the scene
for soliciting prostitution.
Stribble is a senior adult pastor
with First Baptist Church of Lindale. According to the church's website,
Stribble has been affiliated with the church since 1990 and has served
as the music pastor for 20 years.
